Unit 2 Let’s Talk Teens Period 1 Welcome to the unit & Reading 1 Lead in 01 2 Welcome to the unit Morning and night，Mother Bird is there Until her baby’s old enough to leave the nest. Mother Bird, with all her love and care, Longs to provide her baby with the best. Often, she worries, from day to day- Very soon her baby will be full-grown. Excitedly, it will jump away, Spread its wings and fly alone. Yet, she knows, she must let it fly Over the hills and across the sky, Under her careful, watching eye. MUM LOVES YOU 3 Mother bird has mixed feelings about her baby. On the one hand, she is very protective of her baby. On the other hand, she understands that when her baby has grown up she will have to give it more freedom. However, she will always be there for her baby. My parents give me unconditional love. They love me for who I am. They always have confidence in me. They never lose their temper with me, even when I do not perform well at school. They only tell me that I have let them down, and offer me some advice. Free talk: What does the poem describe? How do you feel about your parents?

She sews stitch by stitch: his departure's near, For fear that he won't be home in many a year. Who can tell, how much should the son impart, To well reward the loving mother's heart?

How do you deal with them? 2.What do you think “strangers under the same roof” means? Before you read the article，think about the following questions: 1.What physical and mental changes do you experience as you become a teenager? How do you deal with them? As I become a teenager, I get taller and stronger and start to look like an adult. But sometimes I feel shy about how I look, because I look different from my friends. Mentally, I feel more independent in what I do, like making my own decisions. Consequently, I prefer to spend more time with my friends but my parents may get angry with me. In this case, I would speak to my parents so that they understand how I feel. 2.What do you think “strangers under the same roof” means? I think it means that parents and teenagers feel as if they do not know each other very well anymore even though they have lived together in the same house for many years. This often happens when children become teenagers because the way they look, think and do things changes. Parents sometimes do not understand or accept these changes easily and teens become angry with their parents. Reading 03 11 Para 1:Heated arguments and cold silences are common...

Further thinking 04 19 In pairs, discuss the following questions. 1. What is the author's attitude to parent-child tensions? The author believes parent-child tensions are natural and unavoidable. He argues that the two causes of these tensions are the physical and mental changes that teenagers go through. Although the changes can be stressful, the author thinks that teenagers and their parents can get along better by communicating with each other. He believes that everything will be fine in the end. 2. What stresses do the parents of a teenager have to deal with? How do they influence the parent-child relationship? Parents may worry about their children's performance at school. If children fail to get good grades, their parents might start to be stricter, believing they are not doing their best. This in turn makes their children upset. Parents may also worry that their children are not making the "right" friends. As a result, they might ask a lot of questions about their children's friends, such as where they are going and what they are doing together. This can make their children feel like they are not trusted. 3. What kind of parents are good in your view?
